This can be a useful option for grandparents, other family members, or friends who are caring for a child who cannot be looked after by their parents.

Guardianship is a legal arrangement in which a person (the guardian) is appointed by the court to make decisions for another person (the ward) who is unable to do so for themselves. Guardianship can be necessary for people of any age who have a disability or impairment that prevents them from making sound decisions about their own care. In Texas, there are two types of guardianship: guardianship of the person and guardianship of the estate.
